It means that the author is speaking about the beginning of time, when there was neither the planets nor the rest of the universe. It means a creation myth to me.

God created space, time, and earth and the rest of this universe in the beginning. Who knows when the beginning actually was though.

Sounds like there is more than one heaven. And that a personification of an archetype set to and made these heavens and also an earth of some description

It saddens me because I remember how much a story has been taken as literal reality. And directly limiting the true scope and nature of God.

Quite obviously, it means that in the very beginning, before there was anything, God created the universe.
Anyone who wants to interpret it differently is more than welcome to, but misinterpreting something obvious doesn't make the misinterpretation truth.
